Great Qin: I Expose Myself as a Transmigrated Daoist Alchemist and Rewrite Qin's Fate

Cui Yuan transmigrates into a fangshi in the thirty-fourth year of the First Emperor's reign, locked in a death cell and awaiting burial alive. In this desperate situation, he activates the Die Early, Be Reborn Early System: waiting to die earns a starter pack, escaping has a 99% chance of getting him torn to pieces, and self-detonation as a transmigrator binds him to the fate of the Qin Empire. If Qin survives, he lives forever, but the history books say Qin has only five years left. He grits his teeth and chooses the third option. Qin Shi Huang coldly asks how many generations the Qin Empire will last. Cui Yuan grits his teeth and answers, "It fell in the second generation. After you die, Fusu will be sentenced to death, and Hu Hai will take the throne. The empire will fall three years later." The court erupts. Fusu vomits blood, and Ying Zheng trembles. "Who will be the second emperor?" Cui Yuan silently looks at Hu Hai. He immediately produces plans for the curved-shaft plow, which will double the harvest, then proposes the policy of "rejecting the Hundred Schools and venerating Confucianism alone," using a Confucian exterior to conceal a Legalist core and elevating imperial authority to the altar. Ying Zheng slaps the table. "You are my fangshi." Three years later, Zhao Gao is demoted to the borderlands, Fusu is hailed by the people as Duke Fusu for building roads, and Hu Hai squats in a corner chewing on a coarse bun. Standing beside a newly built canal, Cui Yuan sees the System display, "Qin Empire's remaining lifespan: 999 years," and collapses on the spot. "Brother, I really give up. Please stop changing things, will you?"
